Disable catalog image cropping by changing `$catimgheight` breaks child theme.

    As Kadence Themes suggested here, I created a child theme based on Virtue so I could disable the hard-cropping of catalog images and have my changes persist across Virthue theme updates.

    I copied the file virtue/woocommerce/content-product_cat.php to virtue-child/woocommerce/content-product_cat.php. I changed the line containing

    $catimgheight = 130;

    to

    $catimgheight = null;

    As the WP Codex says, I also created the style.css and functions.php files, with the minimal code they say is required.

    When I try to activate the child theme, I get the message: “The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.”

    Am I missing a step? Thanks.

    Can you post the contents of style.css? If it’s too long, post it to Pastebin instead.

    Contents of virtue-child/style.css:

    /*
 Theme Name:   Virtue Child
 Description:  Virtue Child Theme
 Template:     virtue-child
 Version:      1.0.0
 Text Domain:  virtue-child
*/

.kad_tagline {
	font-size: 150%;
	line-height: inherit;
}

.product_meta {
	font-size: inherit;
}

    When you use a child theme, Template: needs to be the same as the parent theme’s folder:

    Template: virtue

    Aha! Looks like I misunderstood the WP Codex article.

    Thanks for you help.
